NET Notes

¹sn The call to sell your possessions is a call to a lack of attachment to the earth and a generosity as a result.

²tn Grk “give alms,” but this term is not in common use today.

³tn Grk “in the heavens.”

⁴tn Or “an unfailing treasure in heaven,” or “an inexhaustible treasure in heaven.”

⁵tn The term σής (shs) refers to moths in general. It is specifically the larvae of moths that destroy clothing by eating holes in it (L&N 4.49; BDAG 922 s.v.). See Jas 5:2, which mentions “moth-eaten” clothing.
